I hate those "feel good" stories about new mums giving goodie bags on airplanes to preemptively apologize if their baby cries. I don't think anyone should be forced to apologize for their children existing -whether by peer pressure or otherwise. Maybe the adults who have a problem with babies crying can, you know, be adults, and have more maturity than the literal infants they are railing against.

#i have seen no less than 3 different stories like this #and im always like this isnt a feel good story #this is a person who is already very stressed and under a new financial strain #spending inordinare amounts kf money #to not be glared at by immature strangers #for the crime of uh... procreating #like ive been annoyed by kids kicking my seat #ive been annoyed by babies crying #but i have the maturity to understand that babies cry #that children wiggle #hell i have been that baby and that child #ugh #reminds me of the post on the englihs language brazilian subreddit #which was like i took this girl out on a date to a nice restaurant #and there were loads of children there whats up with that?#and all the responses were like #well you see in brazil we consider children to be people who exist in society #so if youre going to a nice restaunrant with your family to celebrate soemthing #the children are coming too because they are also part of the family #and not unsightly dolls you put in a cupboard when not in use
